What keeps you going?

[Bantos]

I find absolutely no reason to keep on living. I'm not saying I wanted to die, but there is absolutely nothing for me to keep living for.
I feel terrible anguish almost about everything. I know that a huge amount of people have a worse life than mine, but I just feel kind of empty all the time.
It's like I keep waiting for my life to begin, when it's actually passing me by.
Also, I have this feeling that I'm not being true to myself or acting the way I would really act. It's like I give out totally different person than I actually am. Have I lost touch with reality.

What are your reasons to live? What are you looking forward to?

mhm.. you should go talk to somebody.. and after that get some goals you can achieve.. travel somewhere start a new hobby.. you know.. And coffee + billiard keeps me going.. 8)

marriage..kids...money...holidays...memories with family and friends... i've felt like you too, you just have to keep taking each day as it comes and do the things you love.

 

[Pirate King]

Girls and drugs, honestly

 

[Hypemaster]

To pass the trial

What you're going through is just an illusion, a lack of serotonin. Accept it, and change your perspective.

It's easier said than done, but just keep that in mind.

What keeps me going is my friends and family. I love being with them.

I live for my family, friends, and all those whose lives I've impacted. Even if it's just a small impact. I live for my future, and all that I hope to accomplish. I keep on living because I don't think of what happens to me when I die, I think about what happens to those that I care about.

I know you're not thinking of suicide, but remember this, when you end your life, you're not ridding yourself of pain. You're ridding your friends and family of someone they love.

I feel like you to man... But you know, I keep living for the others who care about me. I live for them, and that's what keeps me going!

My intention to be someone and do something I've been dreaming about all my life and one more thing I don't want to talk about.
Sometimes I wonder how people don't respect the life they've been given, but just complain about it. Seems like you've never experienced what that feeling is when you are struggling to be alive because many bad things happened which almost cost you your life.

Not being a /b/eta ***

Money Money Money Money Money

But if you die what the heck will you do then?

You killed my vibe. If you have nothing to live for then find something to live for. Like a person you would consider your other half, or that dream you gave up on when you was a kid. Something, life is huge there are great opportunities out there, go travel, don't sit at home and soak about your life.And if you're life is routine'd then of course it's gonna be boring. I'm only 16 so life hasn't even began and showed it's opportunities for me yet. The only thing I'm looking forward to is to move back to New York and get back with my ex :O And to go chill with my old friends again I have my whole life ahead me I can't afford to think like you do.

 

[Guardian of the Rain]

Damn, man. I used to struggle with depression and a confused sense of purpose, too. -A- is right. If there are people who care about you, then your life doesn't belong to you alone. That's if you don't wanna be selfish.
It's not important what keeps me going--I just wanted to share share my thoughts so that you may be comforted by 'em.

You should get into the dating game, having someone constantly with you, caring about you (when you find someone loyal) will remind you of why you are here and will make you feel wanted.

Good luck on your move! I hope your ex takes you back! xd

I dunno, I often feel similar to you, living for the sake of it, but I guess the more you think about it deeply, there are many things that can keep you going, for me it's the sheer curiosity of what my life will be like years from now. Will I have achieved my personal goals or hopes others have placed upon me will be achieved or whether I will have completely changed my outlook and goals? That is something you have to take on a daily basis. And even if that doesn't do it for you, why don't you make it your goal to find out what you want or what will keep you going, a bit like Kirei Kotamine from Fate/Zero.

 

[Danielgf04]

I live for myself, for my family, for my friends! For everyone who loves me! I live my life to the fullest, at least that's the way I see it... I don't really have any goals, just one... Finding someone to share my happiness with and build something special with that special someone! =D

 

[ElementNami92]

I live for my family and friends. Also my hopes in dreams. I believe in A Breaking Benjamin song it says "I live for those I lost along the way..." That quote, when i heard it, it changed me to be better than I was yesterday. But dont give up man, there's a place for everyone in this world, if it's bad, it will change. For the better most likely.

 

[Jinrou]

I live for my family and especially my future daughter.......I'm still a loooong way before i get there but I know she'll be the best thing that will ever happen to me Lol

Look deep and you'll definitely find your reason bro and like you said...someone out there definitely has it worse than you..

 

[Bantos]

You all have really good points actually. And a big thank you for actually making me feel a bit better.
I have a feeling I'm being way too dramatic. I used to be stronger.
I've got to stop the whining and do something about the stuff that is bothering me I guess.
